How To Fix TPDA109 - Dynamic breakpoints can only be edited in the breakpoint view

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TPDA - Debugger

• Message number: 109

• Message text: Dynamic breakpoints can only be edited in the breakpoint view

What causes this issue?

Dynamic breakpoints (breakpoints at statements, methods, and so on)
cannot be edited by double-clicking the relevant lines.
The reason for this is that all breakpoints for a specific statement
(for example, WRITE) make up a unit and you cannot change individual
breakpoints in this unit.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

  Related Information:
  
  Dynamic Breakpoints: These are breakpoints that can be set during the execution of a program and are typically used for debugging purposes. They are not hard-coded into the program and can be added or removed as needed.
  Static Breakpoints: Unlike dynamic breakpoints, static breakpoints are defined in the source code and are always present when the program is executed.
  Debugger Navigation: Familiarize yourself with the debugger interface, as it has various views (like the variable view, call stack, etc.) that can help you analyze your program effectively.
